Let's Take A Survey!

“what kind of things could we survey?”

“trolls”

“hmmm...a survey on what to survey! trippy.”

“We've beat the troll thing to death. Hey, how about a hiking/gear survey?”

“Everyone come up w/ a pressing question. We'll compile them and then survey TTers. (I'm bored and out of Amaretto creamer.)”

“Come up w/ a question MDS.”

“A hiking/gear survey on a backpacking site? Say it isn't so!

We could survey land.”

“Mine is: Should we seperate the sexes and quite trying to make women into men and vice versa? The woman on Fox sports trying to act like one of the guys is making me puke. Why do men think they have to push football (and most other sports) on women?
Here's a fact: The NCAA has been trying to get more women and mionorties into coaching and administrative positions through affirmative action for the past 10 years now. The fact is that the number of women and minorities in coaching and Athletic adminstration in colleges has actually decreased over the period. But it's increased in law and medicine. Women aren't dumb enough to go into athletis but we're trying to force it down their throats (so to speak)”

“Here's my hiking/gear question:
When hiking, how often do you stop for pee breaks?

Here's my bp unrelated question:
How many White Russians can you drink before you realize you are getting tipsy? (Those things are like chocolate milk, they can sneak up on you.)”

“How about:

"Who will be next one to become paranoid on TT"”

“Here's a good one: How many of you have wised up and realized that dogs don't belong in the backcountry?

LNT = LDH.”

“Is Micah a troll? I've never figured that one out.

NG - I pee when I have to. That's my answer. :)”

“WTF is LNT = LDH?!”

“How to kill a troll?

8)”

“Aero, in answer to you survey question: I think that we shouldn't be trying to force male roles on women and female roles on men. What are we proving. If everybody on the team is a good shooter, but no one can dribble the ball . . . do we see what I'm getting at. It's good to have clear roles.

Ewker, in answer to your survey question: Yesterday it was me. Today . . . I've got no clue.

Me, in answer to my own survey question: I take pee breaks very, very frequently. I'm good at the hydration thing.

I can drink about 3 White Russians before I realize that I need to put a lid on it.”

“I think LNT = Leave Dogs Home.”

“I think this survey indicates we can't agree on anything. It has a margin of error of 50%.”

“Smiley Girl OOOOOOOHHHHHH that could burn some people but hey sometimes dogs are a pain and other times they are not!

Look I am a dog and I am a very good boy on the trail!

8)”

“Leave Not Trace=Leave Dogs Home”

“Sarabelle was pretty good, but Gizmo kept tripping everybody! he's a better driver, tho!”

“Isn't LDH like "bad cholesterol" or something? :)”
